The "and" in between

I get responsibility. Really, I have the visuals. Yes, I can see the big picture, but "and" gets in the way. "And" means work. "And" is hard. "And" means asking difficult questions. "And" asks me to constantly rethink my strategies and take criticisms.

"And" is the in between of creed and deed. "And" turns the big idea into a product. "And" is the story of how the first date lead to the big date of I do's. Great teams function within "and" while others are intimidated by it. "And" motivates students from freshman to senior year. "And" is your story.

"And" may very well delay ideas from becoming reality. "And" may ask for another round of discussions. Don't let your "and" be your "end". Move and adapt with "and".
